📖 The Story Behind This Dish

A creative take on hummus, a traditional dish of Lebanon and the wider Middle East, that boldly increases the tahini (sesame paste), also a Middle Eastern ingredient, and adds just one step: pouring over browned butter at the end. Butter itself is part of the Middle East's dairy culture, so nothing from other cultures is introduced — only the proportions and finishing step change. It adds a nutty toastiness and richness.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a Beirut home, the family gathers for dinner to try a new take on their usual hummus.
